There was Johnny McEldoo and McGhee and me, and a couple or two or three went on a spree
G
one day
G Em G Em G Em D7
We had a bob or two which we knew how to blew, and the beer and whiskey flew and we all
G
felt gay
G D7 G D7
We visited McCann's, McIllmann's, Humpty Dan's, we then went in to Swann's our stomachs
for to pack
G Em G Em G Em
We ordered out a feed which indeed we did need, and we finished it with speed but we
D7 G
still felt slack
G Em G Em G Em D7
Johnny McEldoo turned red, white and blue when a plate of Irish stew he soon put out of
sight
G Em G Em G Em D7
He shouted out "Encore" with a roar for some more, that he never felt before such a keen
G
appetite
G D7 G
He ordered eggs and ham, bread and jam, what a cram! But him we couldn't ram though we
D7
tried our level best
G Em G Em G Em
For everything we brought, cold or hot, mattered not,it went down him like a shot, but
D7 G
he still stood the test
G D7 G
He swallowed tripe and lard by the yard, we got scared, we thought it would go hard when
D7
the waiter
brought the bill
G Em G Em G Em
We told him to give o'er, but he swore he could lower twice as much again and more
D7 G
before he had his fill
G Em G Em G Em
He nearly supped a trough full of broth says McGrath, "He'll devour the tablecloth if
D7
you don't hold him in"
G Em G Em G Em
When the waiter brought the charge, McEldoo felt so large,he began to scowl and barge
D7
and his blood went on
G
fire
G D7 G
He began to curse and swear, tear his hair in despair, and to finish the affair called
D7
the shopman a liar
G Em G Em G Em D7
The shopman he drew out, and no doubt, he did clout, McEldoo he kicked about like an old
football
G Em G Em G Em
He tattered all his clothes, broke his nose, I suppose he'd have killed him with a few
D7 G
blows in no time at all
G D7 G
McEldoo began to howl and to growl, by my sowl, he threw an empty bowl at the
D7
shopkeepers head
G Em G Em G Em
It struck poor Mickey Flynn, peeled the skin off his chin and the ructions did begin and
D7
we all fought and
G
bled
G Em G Em G Em D7
The peelers did arrive, man alive, four or five, at us they made a drive for us all to
march away
G Em G Em G Em
We paid for all the mate, that we ate, stood a trate, and went home to reminate on the
D7 G
spree that day
